The car I drove was an '80, because I remember the square headlights. It would have actually been about a year old when I took my test. It was exactly the color of the car in the pic. Coffee creamer tan.

And there's nothing at all phallic about that makeup......

Not super new, but enjoying this quite a bit. I have most of the Black Keys albums, but none of Dan's solo material til this.

I took a driver's re-test today, which is required in my state after my recent medical issues. I passed, but I'm surprised at how nervous I was. I mean, the last time I took a test with an instructor in the car, it was in one of these:

Quebec is the only one I've actually been to. It is a remarkable place .

Best I ever saw was in Albuquerque a few years ago. It was a "Vote Goldwater" sticker, and it was on a 1960 Olds.

That's a very good school. I nearly went there, but couldn't afford it. Same for the University of South Carolina. (also a great theater arts school)

The school of the arts?

The "4th Wall Door" is classic too.

I didn't tell anyone, really. I just wasn't ready.

With a name like "Charmera", I keep expecting you to battle it and have it evolve, eventually becoming a 30 megapixel Olympus .

Sierra Mist I could deal with. "Starry" sounds like one of those little bottles of cheap booze you find empty in the alley behind the liquor store...

Ever get the feeling there's a giant ketchup bottle photo-bombing you?

Sadly, no Halloween happenings here for me. Still getting used to my new leg. I'm fine in the daytime, but darkness and uneven surfaces are still my weaknesses. Getting better each day tho.

Ouchies, but completely accurate.
